Techgoondu has got a new home

We never thought we’d move out this fast, but better early than later.. and so, may we welcome you to Techgoondu.com

That’s the new site that we’ll be updating from now on, so please update your bookmarks and RSS feeds, as we won’t be updating you on the latest gizmos and stuff here.

Sorry for not running all these meta refresh stuff, or cross-linking domains… just figured it’s easier coz this site is rather young (less than a month old), and easier to migrate like that.

Thanks and remember – techgoondu.com is the new place.

Backup yer vinyl records

Here’s the latest in bit-perfect, lossless music encoding: vinyl-to-plastic audio backup.

Now, being a vinyl record nut, I was naturally excited but also aghast to find this backup-yer-vinyl-record tip in blogoshere. Excited because, well, it is a pretty cool notion. Aghast because I can just see all those out-of-print vinyl records being damaged by the gooey silicon stuff. And I am also not so sure about having my delicate record cartridge glide on the finished plastic replica.

Assuming it works, I can just imagine all the nasty crackles and pops from the replica. Anyone tried?
